GOAT Builds Updates

This changelog records every update to the GOAT Builds site: new info from 2K, stats checked in game, and corrections.

Updated

Upcoming

  • October 16, 2026: Season 2 drops. We start checking every build's height, weight, wingspan, attributes, archetype name and badge limits in game.
  • After that: the tier list goes up.

Changelog

    • Home is now a hub: intro, key facts, the 18-player table, the four unlock paths, short summary cards and a five-question FAQ. The longer sections moved to the pages that own them.
    • New page: Are GOAT Builds worth it? with the trade-offs, which GOAT Build to unlock first, player questions and the FAQs that used to sit on the homepage.
    • New page: Glossary covering REP, Season level, Pro Pass, Cap Breakers, Takeovers, archetypes, Badges, signature animations, MyPLAYER, Crew Divisions, Elite V/VIII, Legend I and Lifetime Challenges.
    • Player pages: new infobox (position, unlock, requirement, archetype, height, weight, wingspan, era and status) with unpublished values shown as TBA.
    • Clearer page roles: the unlock guide covers how to get each player, the REP and Season level guide covers leveling fast (REP vs Season level now lives there), and the rules cover what you can customize.
    • Site-wide layout: fact chips, bold section takeaways, requirement pills, step lists, side table of contents, related-link rows and mobile-friendly tables. No facts or numbers changed.

    • Rewrote the copy across the site in a plainer, wiki-style voice. No facts or numbers changed.
    • New page: REP and Season level guide with official XP and REP sources and labeled community tips.
    • Unlock guide: added REP vs Season level, Crew Divisions +25% REP, Pro Pass wording (GOAT Builds are in the main Season 2 rewards, not the Pro Pass lists) and the open REP per account question.
    • Rules: expanded Cap Breakers (official limits from 2K Support, +1 at Level 40, open questions) and added Pro-Am, Logo Show, REC/Park and animation swap Q&As; added internal links.
    • Home: intro rewrite, "Are GOAT Builds worth it?" section and Pro Pass FAQ.
    • Height & weight: normal-build comparison column (only the official 6'7" PG limit) and one pending note instead of 18 rows.
    • Player pages: Young Kobe title and heading, unlock-path context, position lists and player-specific questions; removed unsupported intro claims.

    • Site launched with all 18 GOAT Builds, unlock requirements and positions from the official Season 2 Courtside Report.
    • Added the rules page, including the conflicting statements on locked stats (Newsroom vs Courtside Report).
    • Added community-reported height and weight ranges, marked unverified.
    • Correction noted: a widely shared post said 17 legends; the official list has 18. A pre-launch leak claim of 24 GOAT Builds is unconfirmed.
    • Stats, bodies, archetype names and badge limits marked pending until Season 2 is live (Oct 16).
